Hi again... The bug report is not bogus, in the sense that it happens.
Everytime I run  update-initramfs -u, my
/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/cryptroot gets an extra line
target=lukspace,source=/dev/hda3,key=none,lvm=evg-root
added.

I do not know what these 'hooks' are, but I run update-initramfs -u with
strace and I send you the output in case this might help you. I found a
directory /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks, but it is empty. Is there
something I can check and report back, in order to see why is this
happening?

Thanks!
